Wot, no chat on the Sheffields? The Wednesdays, the Uniteds, the Rovers? What's going on with you footy types? Are you still alive? Are you mumbling to yourselves at some cold, windy bus-stop somewhere, people pulling their kids away from you, no-one sitting either side of you on the foldy plastic seats? I mean, fuck, what gives, Daddios?

My boys went to the game at White Hart Lane where the powers that be reduced ticket prices to £20 for adults and a fiver for kids. It's the first game that we've been to for ages that didn't leave us a bit skint. The place was packed with kids and it made for a really nice atmosphere. Shame the robbing bastards don't do it more often. x

I was at Sunderland v Man City on New Year's Day and it cost £1 for my 10 year old, was magic and a stark contrast to the cost of QPR and Tottenham down here which were too expensive for us all to go to.

Well if there is such a thread I will at least say that the Owls win over West Ham was a belter of a game and O'Grady's winner was superb. I know Richard was there and will no doubt have njoyed it as much as me and my kids!!

Top tie in round two is, of course the visit of the mighty Port Vale to Bramall Lane - our manager, Micky Adams, was a boyhood Blades fan and managed them - some would say mis-managed them - before returning to us. It has to be on telly, surely.....
